Something you should know about Invasions, Jon. Invasions work differently from every other kind of war, because of what it allows you to do. I'm not sure you actively read what the description says, but they worked the same way in CK2 as well: You declare it for a certain kingdom, and if you win that war, you get that kingdom by default, *but you also get ALL COUNTIES YOU OCCUPY as well.* In other words, you could've declared it for Germany, but just sieged/occupied all the HRE counties *outside* Germany, and you would've gotten Germany as well as all additional counties you occupied. You could've possibly occupied another kingdom's worth of land before the enemy auto-surrendered (an AI balancing measure to keep players from stealing whole empires, otherwise).
Jon : creates large numbers of troops. Also Jon: wait where did the economy go? Jon is once again showing us his belief that soldiers shouldn’t be paid lol
Also spouse skill. You get events saying "Your child [name] has a better chance at a higher education due to your spouse" throughout, even when you're the one raising them and they aren't wards of your spouse

Hello Jon. Just wanna let you know that your religion doesn't have the Polyamory tenet. The Polyamory tenet always relationships with others outside of your marriage and concubines. You religion just makes it legal to be unfaithful. Your religion still finds it morally wrong to be unfaithful.
I was wondering what the Polyamory tenet did until I saw this episode. I figured it was something like that when all his girlfriends were getting jealous of each other.
Jon, that 1000 gold that mysteriously turned up was part of the inheritance you got from that temple or city (I can't remember now). When you inherit someones titles you also get their funds, and a lot of priests and mayors as you know are very rich
unlike CKII, in CKIII when you click to give a kid a guardian, the list of names that comes up is only that of your immediate court. All of your high skill vassals don't show up, meaning your kids are getting a worse tutor than if you sent them to your vassals.
@@greatmightypanda Fair point lol. I just was amused a few parts ago when he said, "Now I can designate my own heir!" And then went crazy with disinheritance and male preference.
he still seems unable to read though. otherwise he might have realized that with the kingdom invasion he also keeps all land thats occupied but not dejure part of the kingdom.
I wonder if Jon wil ever figure out that the game tells you if you're going to catch an enemy army. He always seems so excited during a chase while looking directly at the icon that says what's going to happen.
59:22 JON! An educator's Learning, in addition to the stat corresponding to the specific education, counts towards ANY education and you gave her to someone with 0! You should've educated her yourself, since you have great Intrigue AND Learning.
Jon, when in a Invade Kingdom war, you should invade as much territory that is NOT de jure of the target. When you win you will gain all de jure land plus all sieged counties outside the de jure target land. You can gain so much more land this way.
To be fair to Jon, CK3 never bothers to tell you when your physician dies and automatically fires your physician when you die but you know it's vitally important you get a pop up message that pauses the game every time one of your vassals has sex with someone they aren't married to even if you've changed your faith to make sure it's not a sin.
@@charlesbaldwin3166 The game also fired Odd's ex-wife as Court Physician when he divorced her last episode. I saw the notification; I counted on Jon not noticing it. =9[.]9=
FYI: Archers are not trash; they get the most stacking bonuses via building upgrades of all Men-at-Arms. They outscale everything by a decent amount once you start stacking those damage buffs. Right now, the "accepted" strategy is to focus or two complementary men-at-arms types, since trying to maintain a diverse army spreads your damage buffs around too much, reducing effectiveness.
You can game the kingdom invasion because you get everything inside the kingdom regardless of whether you sieged it, but also anything you sieged outside it. So take as many counties outside the kingdom as you can first - often I find the opponent surrenders before I'm done sieging the rest of their realm, and then I get everything I sieged plus the war target. This is so powerful you pretty much don't want to siege anything inside the war target, because the negative ticking war score just gives you extra time to take more counties outside the target.
My mom's family is from Germany - Hamburg to be precise. She came to America before I was born. But it's still nice to to see it among the free love cult of MATN.
The character models for teeny, tiny babies are so cute! The proportions are noticeably incorrect and they fashion babies as toddlers, but they are so adorable! Then they age up into the awkward phase.
Hey jon, just so you know, while you're on maximum crown authority if you want certain vassals to start declaring wars, there is a button on the feudal contracts that lets a vassal ignore the crown rules regarding war declaration. I think it involves both internal and external wars, so make that choice carefully if you do it. Oh and please don't piecemeal italy. use a great holy war. It ignore country borders to give you the entire dejure land of italy, that way you can dismantle the pope in one war without having to worry about cleaning up tiny irrelevant counts/duchies
Probably just clearing out the dungeon of valuable prisoners and random events since he has a good spouse and good councillors. Three months in game time had passed so it's not that difficult.
(12:23) All my lovers can get bent! I'm keeping them all!... Oh, let me marry someone with a decent intrigue skill. No way this is going to go horribly wrong.
He still has it for now. And the guy he wants as the king of Germany is a mere count that'll be overpowered by his prestigious duke cousins by the time he's done dealing with East Franconia.
I swear this is like the third time Jon does literally everything within his power to make sure he has all the kids in the world, only to later realise that he may be getting a few too *many* children.
I wouldn't worry about all the extra genius children. Since you can just pick your heir, you pick your favorite, and all the brothers and sisters become really, really good commanders and advisors (and spare leaders) down the line. There really isn't much of a downside.
I mean... you made it so women can be champions... and you've had some really fantastic women warriors. Tons of genius kids is really not a problem anymore. So what if all your girls are brilliant? Put them to work!
Do you have an end goal in sight for the series? When do you think you're going to say "yep, we've done it, this is enough"? I'm enjoying it immensely, of course, just curious.
The game just constantly gives rulers notifications about that unless their religion has the Polyamory tenet.

@@mineflameblade8788 Lover's Pox is an STD in the game that you contract by visiting brothels. I think it's also congenital, so there's a chance the Pope's mother may have given it to him from birth, but in either case a celibate Catholic priest having an STD should probably be a red flag
You know when some software isn't responding, so you click the button a dozen times, and then it all happens at once? This is the case with Emperor Odd and his many children.
If nothing changed, you basically accumulate renown until 1453. Either that or your dynasty gets extinct on the way, which is not exactly a loss anyway by CK standards.

now, that war was too easy...
i havent seen such glorious evil fertility since Connor the seducer
Jon says the new pope isn't evil but misses how he has Lover's Pox 🤔
He’s currently in a sex cult I don’t think he thinks having the lovers pox is all that scandalous
@@gasmasknoises814 wtf is lovers pox?
@@gasmasknoises814 Except we're talking about a celibate Catholic pope, not any one Sexy lol
@@mineflameblade8788 Lover's Pox is an STD in the game that you contract by visiting brothels. I think it's also congenital, so there's a chance the Pope's mother may have given it to him from birth, but in either case a celibate Catholic priest having an STD should probably be a red flag

When you realise your own family in this game dont like you much more than anybody else...
Please call a crusade of your own before he dies. He deserves it.
Can you imagine ilva the brave with these cannons? That is a blitzkrieg Germany would hate to be a part of.
Yes
You know when some software isn't responding, so you click the button a dozen times, and then it all happens at once? This is the case with Emperor Odd and his many children.
Next episode please
You make this game look so easy 😂
That is one hell of a brood and all about the same age. Is there scope for a teen CK3 spinnoff?
Coxcomb. A fool.
"We are now too fertile."
Things no other CK players says. ;)
My guys thirty, has the traits inbred fecund and beautiful. Has yet to have a kid from his fecund wife.
Don't forget your beginnings. Improve the holy motherland!
Sweden's border gore makes me cry inside

Imagine Ylva leading this army like fuck HRE wouldn't stand a chance
I'm kinda worried the series has hit the inevitability part of CK3 where it's almost impossible to lose because the AI is bad at the late game
when game of thrones mod comes out please do a let's play on it, oh and u have to watch the tv series or bring claire along.
Did Jon just blitzkrieg through Germany? O.o
Question. What exactly is the victory condition for Crusader Kings 3? Do you have to conquer everything?
If nothing changed, you basically accumulate renown until 1453.
Either that or your dynasty gets extinct on the way, which is not exactly a loss anyway by CK standards.
@@honestbaguette 1453? Nannni?
@@mineflameblade8788 As the year of the fall of Constantinople to th Turks it's recognized as (one of the markers of) the end of the Middle Ages and is thus the end of the medieval grand strategy game.
@@honestbaguette i see. So. If that date hits... Game over?
@@mineflameblade8788 Yup! On a single player game your dynasty will be compared to historical ones. But I mainly play for the achievements or for personal challenges, and I guess many do.
The reason you didn't get geniuses until your wife came to age is because your concubines aren't part of your dynasty so your dynasty congenital traits bonuses are effectively halved.
